Lens Treatments
After falling in love with one of our designer frames, the next step is to determine which brand and style of lenses will serve your eyes best.
Transitions
Light changes everything. Improve your adaptation from outdoors to indoors, and vice versa, with transitions lenses. Transition lenses darken in sunlight to help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays that can compromise your vision and eye health.
Anti-Reflective
Anti-reflective coatings reduce light reflections that bounce off of your lenses. This allows more light to transmit properly into your eyes for clearer and brighter vision. Cosmetically it makes your lenses looks practically invisible. Let people see more of your beautiful eyes and less reflections!
Blue Light
In this digital age, we are spending increasingly long hours looking at screens every day, both at work and at home. Unfortunately, our eyes are not optimized for prolonged digital device use, and the increased amount of blue light it exposes us to. That is why too much screen time can lead to digital eye strain and dry eyes.
Blue light protection helps mitigate these symptoms by filtering out harmful blue light.
Digital Lenses
Eyes lose the ability to capture light as we age. This is called poor contrast. Poor contrast makes it difficult to drive at dusk and throughout the night. Digital lenses increase contrast by 30% which leads to sharper and clearer vision in low light. Digital lenses also allow for larger viewing areas!
